Institutional trust has been eroding since Watergate and almost non-existent since Snowden leaks.
Seeing Apples name on the PRISM slide was a gut bunch, you dont and will never get blind trust anymore.
Saying this is similar to the anti-vax movement is so frustrating for me to read when special closed courts are set up in my country to deliver verdicts on the legality of data acquisition and they STILL found the GCHQ overeached and illegally spied on citizens.
The UK gov has even decided to not use the API provided by Apple here so if I could trust Apple (which I don't) its being undermined by the fact the government decided to take Palantir on to help make it and it looks like they are getting involved in the US effort too.
